Oh we'll still have national parks. They'll just have oil and/or fracking rigs on them.
I read a conspiracy theory that Disney movies were designed to teach girls that marrying older men while you're a child is normal.
I don't think the 45 is a fleet number. I think it's there because Trump was the 45th president.
The guy probably has no personality except Trump. Judging by the rest of his car anyway
There are lot of problems. The biggest is funding.
Most politicians come from money. Not all, but a good number. This, oddly enough, can make them a bit more independent since they don't have special interests demanding their time to get their money. But depending on their motives for running, this can also make them very susceptible to corruption to make their money back.
If you don't have money, you have to raise it. You can either do this by meeting with special interests (oil, pharma, etc.) and be their lapdog or you can solicit money from the public. Both have their pros and cons in terms of getting elected, staying elected, and making sure you can do the work you set out to do.
Let's assume you have money and it's untainted.
The second biggest problem you have is name recognition. If you are a nobody, no one is going to elect you. You have to earn name recognition by either winning several smaller elections, by being active in the community, or by being famous. Usually if your rich, you have name recognition so you can usually skip this step. But if you're not, and you're raising money the old fashion way, you need to get your name out there. You remember Joe Exotic? You know him because he ran a ridiculous campaign.
Let's assume that you're active in the community and you have pretty good name recognition.
The hardest hurdle is going to be that you have almost half of your electorate actively rooting against you.
IMO, the reason why you don't see many young people in politics, even at the local level, is because all three of these steps seem so insurmountable. I looked into it. I never formed a committee or anything but the amount of money alone you have to raise is crazy.
You need a thick skin and you need to be willing to compromise, either your morals or your values, often both.
Honestly, if you scam them and then donate the money to progressive causes, it's as if you collected taxes.
I wouldn't even call it a scam at that point.
My conspiracy theory is that he wasn't a serious contender for AG. He got the nom which allowed him to resign from Congress. This forced the ethics committee to stop investigating him because he was no longer a member.
While he was a contender for AG, the Senate pushed for the release of materials anyway. Gaetz withdrawals from consideration, making the report moot.
This has Bannon written all over it.
The rich need more money laundering vehicles.
The ironic thing here is that the ethics committee is a shit committee. They don't have anywhere near the influence you think it does.
This is the most power the committee is ever going to have.
Trump WANTS the highest level of law enforcement to be political.
There is a difference between someone who is new and experiences something like their IDE deletes a file that was unexpected and asking a question about why it did that.
Then there are arrogant assholes who believe their shit doesn't stink and that they couldn't have done anything wrong and it was the IDE's fault for not knowing what they wanted to do versus what they commanded it to do.
The OP is the latter.
I'm convinced that the best way to store secrets is in a recipe blog. Credit card numbers, social security number, mother maiden name...
